OVER VIEW
Gems currently adds new tools based off of default (Pick, Axe, Shovel, Sword), as well as adding new ores (rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and amethysts) and blocks based on those ores.

The crafting systems differs slightly from the normal tool crafting, where you craft tool heads or in the case of a sword a blade, then craft the tools from the tool heads. The mods adds a new rod (stone rods) crafted the same as sticks but with of course cobblestone, using cobble rods or sticks changes the tool durability and effectiveness.
-Using stone rods raises the durability but at the cost of speed or effectiveness and using basic sticks increases speed at the costs or durability.

Tool heads are crafted the same way as if you would craft normal tools, but with out sticks then later crafted with stone rods or sticks the craft the diffrent gem tools.

GEM FABRICATOR (active and non active), RAW GEMS, AND DIAMOND CUTTING WHEEL

TO DO:
Up to date

DEPENDENCIES:default

CHANGE LOGS:

Added new gem fabricator that processes raw gems (mined from their ores) to become cut gems which can then be crafted into the tool heads and then into the tools. fabricator is crafted from dessert stone brick in the shape of a furnace with a diamond in the middle, and the diamond cutting wheel is crafted from 4 diamonds x = empty d=diamond, s = stone brick
xdx sss
dxd sds
xdx sss
currently diamond cutting wheel will never run out so no need to replace.

mod updated to 1.1 mod is not complete but i will take some suggestions on things that might be good to add into this mod

You may want to change the X=air in your description to x=none because it is possible to mine air for some reason

mod updated to 1.4

in 1.5 sapphire gems will be added

1.5 is out and i've added sapphires to it

I'm trying this mod, I like it

the mod is now at version 1.6 and i would be glad if people would give me more ideas and more gems to add

i found errors in the init.lua of version 1.6

line 211
drop = 'craft "ruby:ruby_gem" 1',

should be following line
drop = 'craft "gems:ruby_gem" 1',

......
and
......

line 275
tile_images = { "ruby:ruby_gem" },

should be following line

tile_images = { "gems:ruby_gem" },


......

should tile_images should be a png-file ??? why using gems:xxxxx string

inventory_image is also a png-file and seems correct... ???? !!!!

OK for some reason the error found at 211 is an error so i fixed it in 1.7 but the so called error at 275 is not an error that is meant to be there but thank you for your observation and thank you for pointing it out for me and i did fix the error at 211

the mod has bin updated to 1.7 and i just fixed a code error in the code

1.8/1.9 new "shadow" tools included read more above about what they do

Just wanted to say, awesome mod! I've used it for months and it has been one of my favorites! It has a nice formula so u have to get every gem in order to get the best item so u really have to work for it. Very kewl. Just was wondering if there will be any more awesome updates? Like new recipes for more items perhaps with different functionality or even recipeies for other mods?
